Peugeot revamps the E‑Traveller with something for everyone
The Peugeot electric bus, much like its commercial counterpart, has undergone a noticeable refresh. Its new facade not only lends a more modern aesthetic, but also infuses the design with a touch of elegance.

The novel Peugeot logo, irregularly shaped grille inserts, and dark LED-segmented headlights contribute to E-Traveller's appeal. Additionally, it offers an array of configurations for the customers to choose from.
Two body lengths are on the table - 16.34 feet and 17.49 feet, and numerous interior layouts ranging anywhere from 5 to 9 seats. Among the available options, the four independent seats in a five-seater layout that can be rearranged to face each other presents an epitome of luxury.
The nine-seater layout, arguably, is the most practical. Even with a full passenger load, it still has the capacity to carry 3968.32 pounds of cargo. This value can be impressively ramped up to 13042.74 pounds by merely occupying the front seats.
Regrettably, the same variety doesn't extend to the engine options. Standard is a 136 HP electric motor, which can be combined with one of two battery sets. The base set, which has a 50 kWh capacity, provides up to 139.2 miles on a single charge. For a superior range of up to 217.48 miles, a 75 kWh battery sure comes in handy.
It's noteworthy that Peugeot has also spruced up the interior and enhanced the inclusions in the upgraded version. Standard features include a 10-inch multimedia system with full connectivity, LED lights, and an array of driver support features. The vehicle is anticipated to hit the market in the coming months, and it will be interesting to see how the upgrades affect the pricing.
